Homemade Ranch Dressing takes on a whole new taste that cannot be matched with the store bought kind.
It is a simple everyday dressing Southerns use on their salads and to dip their pizza and vegetables in. What makes it so versatile is that it can be a creamy tangy dressing or a thick and delicious dip.
The basic ingredients are fresh herbs, mayonnaise, sour cream, and the star, buttermilk. I don't think I ever make it the same.
It all depends on the herbs I have on hand, and there are times that I just use dried herbs. You have to be a little careful as to how much dried herbs you use because they tend to get stronger the longer they set.
The main thing is to make it to your liking, and you will turn out a creamy tangy dressing every time! In the last few years, I have served this wonderful dressing at our Super Bowl parties with fresh vegetables.
